Project manager- The University of Ghent

Shared by Edie - 24 February 2021
Job deadline
25 February 2021
Country
Belgium

This vacancy concerns a job as part-time (20%) project manager for an EU-funded project on “Further Enhancing the Implementation of Quality Standards in drug demand reduction in the EU” (FENIQS-EU). A brief summary of the project proposal is provided below:

Quality standards (QS) were a central priority in the EU Drug Strategy 2013-2020 to improve the quality of drug services and to bridge the gap between science and practice. Yet, the extent and ways in which QS are implemented in daily practices of drug prevention, treatment and harm reduction in the EU vary substantially. Some countries have successfully implemented QS and there is a clear need to understand what transferable lessons can be learned from available 'good practices' which can guide the implementation of QS in different contexts across the EU. 

The general objective of this action is to enhance the implementation of QS in drug prevention, treatment and harm reduction throughout the EU, with more services, organizations and countries applying QS in daily practice. The project will focus on the actual application of QS in all EU countries and factors stimulating implementation. By identifying good practice examples and successful implementation strategies, key stakeholders (e.g. policymakers, service providers and users) will have access to do's and don'ts for implementing QS in various areas of drug demand reduction. A key activity will be the organization of a 2-day QS event in Lisbon, eventually resulting in consensus around core implementation strategies. The main output of this action will be a field-tested implementation toolkit, providing step-by-step guidance for individuals and organizations interested to implement QS. Training sessions, webinars and a video tutorial will support the introduction of the toolkit. 

Country representatives and civil society organizations will be involved throughout the project to maximize stakeholders' abilities to share good practices and to implement project recommendations in daily practice and at the local level. Project partners are three academic partners (based in Belgium, Croatia and the Czech Republic) and four pan-European networks (IREFREA, Correlation C-EHRN, Euro-TC, EUFAS), covering all EU member states and DDR areas.

PhD Studentship- University of East Anglia

Shared by Edie - 6 February 2021
Job deadline
28 February 2021
Country
United Kingdom

Over 10 million people in England drink at a harmful level. Alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of death and disability with huge costs to society and the NHS1. One approach to reducing drinking is the promotion of ‘dry days,’ where people choose days of the week to not drink. This is expected to reduce overall alcohol consumption and may strengthen willpower to refuse alcohol. Research is needed on dry days to show what they mean to drinkers, how they can be achieved and whether they reduce a person’s drinking over time. The promotion of dry days might also work differently for different people based on their levels of deprivation or drinking. To expand the evidence for dry days, the PhD student will: 1) Review studies evaluating approaches for reducing drinking that include dry periods; 2) Interview drinkers about their understandings and experiences of dry days; 3) Ask drinkers to measure their drinking and related factors daily over a period of time and part-way through start using Public Health England’s Drink Free Days smartphone app to take dry days. This should tell us the app’s impact on dry days and alcohol consumption and what influences this. Participant interviews will also identify their experiences and views. 

Training Programme: Evidence synthesis, mixed and qualitative methods, statistical analysis including within-participant approaches, experimental evaluation, writing for publication, dissemination, and personal and professional development. 

Outputs: Thesis, publications, presentations, evidence to inform practice, potential future evaluation study. 

We are seeking a student with a good first degree (at least 2:1) and preferably a Masters in a related topic area (e.g., health psychology, public health, social science, research methods) or equivalent research experience. The student will have an interest in behaviour change, relevant research methods and data analysis, and will be committed and self-directed.

Project Title

Young men, alcohol and loneliness

Description

Reducing alcohol-related harm and tackling social isolation and loneliness are priorities for the Scottish Government. There is evidence that both loneliness and non-drinking are more stigmatized among men than women. Researchers have argued that it is important to explore how dominant constructions of masculinity (e.g. the belief that men should be ‘strong and silent’, or should be able to ‘hold’ their drink) impact on men’s health and on help-seeking behaviours.  Despite assumptions that loneliness affects older people, a recent international study found that young men living in individualistic societies were most vulnerable. Drinking patterns are in flux among young people. While a substantial minority (27%) of young men in Scotland still drink excessively, there has been a notable decline in drinking in young people (perhaps due to economic factors, increased health-consciousness or connecting with friends via online technology rather than through drinking).  

This PhD will focus on how young men ‘do friendship’ and cope with loneliness, with and without alcohol. It will explore young men’s experiences of social relationships and loneliness, and of drinking. It will also explore the role of alcohol in connecting with friends, and as a coping strategy for loneliness.
